This brochure is a product of the Dutch farmers' network 'Good soil management for better farming on peat soils'. This network was founded because dairy farmers in the Dutch peat meadow areas felt that not enough research was being done on soil quality issues in peat soils, compared to sand and clay soils. The aim of the network was to unlock knowledge about soil quality in general and peat soils in particular. Specifically, participating farmers wanted to gain a better understanding of the effect of soil quality and soil management on grass production. Their objective was to develop a checklist for assessing soil quality, and to try out measures for improving soil quality.
